The former Liverpool captain has been working as a pundit for BT since announcing his retirement from football in November last year.

Gerrard is now looking to begin his career as a coach and has been working with Liverpool's academy after rejecting the chance to manager MK Dons.

"Thank you to the amazing fans of Liverpool, England and LA Galaxy for the incredible backing you have given me throughout my career. Your loyalty and support has meant the world," said Gerrard in a statement confirming his retirement.
